Moore (crater)

Moore is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. Like much of the far side, Moore is located in a region that has been saturated by impacts. Nearby features of note are Larmor crater to the south-southwest, and Parsons crater about the same distance to the west.

This crater has been worn and damaged by subsequent impacts, particularly along the western rim where it is overlaid by a a double-crater. The interior floor is irregular and marked by a merged chain of impacts that runs from the northwest rim to the mid-point. The satellite crater 'Moore L' is attached to the south-southeast outer rim. To the east, the satellite crater 'Moore F' has a relatively high albedo rim, and lies at the center of a small ray system.

By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Moore crater.
